Organic Matter / Object 001

ORIGIN
one of one.

A unique functional sculpture created from preserved wood, blue cast resin and reclaimed industrial machinery components.

The Story

A dialogue between nature and industry.

ORIGIN is the first object in the Organic Matter series. It combines a preserved tree cross-section with transparent blue resin and a restored industrial machine base.

The wooden core remains visually dominant, while the cast resin creates a clean outer contour and reveals the natural irregularity of the material. The base gives the object weight, structure and mechanical presence.

ORIGIN resin and wood detail
Material Detail

The edge is where the object comes alive.

The transition between wood and resin creates the strongest visual identity of ORIGIN. The resin does not hide the irregular natural edge. It frames it.

The blue tone adds depth and contrast, especially where the light passes through the thickness of the cast material.

Material and Resin

The natural cross-section is preserved and framed through transparent blue cast resin.

ORIGIN workshop process

Workshop Stage

The object is shaped, refined and prepared before its final assembly.

ORIGIN industrial base

Industrial Base

The restored mechanical base gives the object weight, stability and industrial character.

Certified Object

A unique object needs a clear identity.

ORIGIN is marked with its own object plaque and code. This gives the piece a documented identity as the first object in the Organic Matter series.

The plaque confirms the series, object name, edition and year.

Story

A functional object shaped by natural material and industrial presence.

ORIGIN is not designed to look mass-produced. It is built around the character of a single piece of wood and the contrast between organic form and engineered support.

The project is part of GM Atelier's Organic Matter direction — a series focused on one-of-one objects where the material is not hidden, corrected or forced into perfect symmetry.

The tabletop keeps the natural identity of the wood while resin and metal elements create a stronger sculptural presence. The result is intended to function as furniture, but also to stand as an object with its own story.

Material Language

Wood, resin and metal in one balanced object.

Natural Wood

The object starts from the shape, texture and imperfections of the selected material.

Blue Resin

Resin is used as a visual and structural contrast, adding depth and a more contemporary identity.

Industrial Base

The support structure gives the object mechanical character and keeps it connected to the Terra Vertex design language.

Process

Each stage is part of the final identity.

Selection

The project begins with choosing material that already has visual power before any intervention.

Stabilization

The wood is prepared, cleaned, shaped and sealed so the final object can be both expressive and usable.

Finishing

The final surface, edges and metal details are refined to balance raw character with premium presentation.
